Sailing The Bahamas - Threading the Needle Through Shallow Coral Reefs! Ep-186
We set sail on an overnight passage from the Exumas to the Abacos, navigating shallow Bahamian waters and dodging coral heads along the way. Our goal? Reach the narrow channel between the islands before sunset. After arriving, we're greeted by a few forecasted storms in the Abacos—just as we’re getting settled.
In this episode, we share what it’s like sailing through the Bahamas, give a real-time life update, and explain why we've come to the Abacos and what’s next for us and SV Escapade.
If you're dreaming of the liveaboard cruising lifestyle, curious about sailing routes in the Bahamas, or just here for some tropical sailing adventures, you're in the right place.
